49 min - It's Not A Ladder, It's A Jungle Gym - Putting In Work On Her Way To The Top - Reham Habib Interview
Reham Habib has been a part of making brands like Nike, Jordan, and even 50 Cent's G-Unit, some of the most recognizable names on the planet. Her path to the top of the corporate world is "looks less like a ladder and more like a jungle gym," and that includes living in China for 4 years working for Jordan Brand.
Find out how she's managed to balance work with a healthy dose of travel, and how she thinks the perfect work schedule could look a lot different than tradition determines.

About Outside The Box
From the publisher's feed
Outside the Box is a conversation series hosted by Nick Engvall, a sneaker industry veteran with over 20 years of experience spanning Sole Collector, Complex Sneakers, Finish Line, Stadium Goods, and…
StockX. Each episode is a long-form conversation with creative people from the worlds of sneakers, streetwear, media, and culture... people who have been doing the work long enough to have something real to say about it. Some episodes are about shoes. Most of them end up being about something else entirely. That's kind of the point.
